Objects in oil??

[turbotony]

i checked my oil level today and it seemed to have what looks like possible metal shavings on my dipstick, or something. not to sure what it is. truck has 61k on it and still has dpf. ordered everything to fix it just waiting to put on. Seems to be running fine. what should i do, change oil? compression test? HELP

I would change the oil asap. But I would make sure I get a good oil sample and maybe you can find out what it is. Also get your self some magnets. Stronger the better (ebay or amazon) put these on the bottom of your oil pans (I also have them on the diffs). Dont panic before you know why your panicing.....

heres the thing had the truck a week. i have a 48k mile powertrain warrenty just debating if i should install the dpf delete... and doesnt the drain plug have a mag on it? also if i placed magnets in the oil pan how would i go about that it doesnt sound safe

another thing whats the best oil to run in the 6.4?

You just stick the magnet to the outside of the pan. As the oil goes over the magnet the metal sticks to the pan. And yes the plug is a magnet and you can get a good sample of the metal off of it. With a warranty I would get a good sample and take it in and see what they want to do.

okay i was told also to get a dubble sided magnet and acually put it in the pan lol okay so put the magnet on the OUTSIDE of the pan and leave it there after i change the oil and take a sample of the oil in there now and just take it to ford? how do i take a good sample just put it in a sealed container? whats the best i should go with oil wise when i do this oil change? sorry new to the 6.4 family

Go to blackstone laboratories website and they will send you a free kit to send in an oil sample.

If you've got a warranty, I'd start by reporting the problem.
